About This Course
This is the second course for awarding B. Tech. Minor in Computer Science and Engineering with specialization in Networking. Study of this course provides the learners a clear understanding of how computer networks from local area networks to the massive and global Internet are built and how they allow the usage of computers to share information and communicate with one another. This course covers the layers of OSI Reference models and inter-networking. This course helps the learners to compare and analyze the existing network technologies and to choose a suitable network design for a given system.
